some of my meds tell me not to drink anything because it reacts with the meds. So check all meds before you even consider drinking. I gave it up and would rather eat mhy carbs than drink them. |

Last edited about 1 month ago all hard liquor such as Scotch, Whiskey, Vodka etc have zero carbs...1 oz of hard liquor has approx 80-100 calories depending on proof.....please tell your loved one alcohol can be extremely dangerous when used by diabetics....it's like playing with an extremely dangerous explosive and wondering how high you can drop it from before it explodes!......Alcohol and diabetes don't mix
kdroberts replied October 17, 2009 11:58 AM I'm curious, why is alcohol so dangerous and why doesn't it mix with diabetes?
Sheri S replied October 18, 2009 2:23 PM Below is an article on dLife regardng alcohol. I'm sure there are many articles available on this subject. Keep in mind that alcohol use is only an option for a WELL-CONTROLLED diabetic without complications. In my opinion if you are consuming alocohol daily and are diabetic you probably do not meet this criteria. Obviously a personal choice.....I guess you need to ask yourself if the risk is worth one to two drinks a day?!
kdroberts replied October 18, 2009 6:28 PM Last edited about 1 month ago I still don't see the huge risk people portray. There are far greater risks in managing diabetes.
Sheri S replied October 18, 2009 7:07 PM I guess if you drink enough and go to bed and your bs is already low you may not wake up to see another day.......
kdroberts replied October 18, 2009 7:27 PM Unlikely, if that happened it would be because of too much insulin or too big a dose of an oral medication that forced the low. |

It depends on the alcohol and the person.

It really depends on the person when it comes to alcohol. I use to drink wine, with dinner, but had to give it up because it would cause my blood sugar to drop and I would be sooo sleepy. |

I would like to know more about alcohol and the effect it has on diabetics....my boyfriend says that drinking Scotch lowers his blood sugar and that other types of alcohol are bad for him.
